[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Its been mine since new and used in gigs and recording. Never had any issues finding my sounds with this.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]And it was ideal for my hands.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Specs are as follows:[/font][/size][list] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Bolt-on neck[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]34" scale[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Maple Neck[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Ebony fingerboard[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Swamp ash body[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Standard 45mm nut[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Dot inlays[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]21 XJ frets[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Chrome hardware[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]ESP-LTD Vintage tuners[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Wilkinson licensed WBBC-5 bridge[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]EMG MMTW-5 pickup on the bridge[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]40P5 active pickup at neck[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Volume, Balance controls[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]3-band EQ[/font][/size] [/list] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A few notes on this.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The first is the low B tuner has had the shaft replaced after a knock. no impact on the basses playability however the peg is now a tad bigger than it should be so in a straight line the B and E pegs overlap by about 1mm. Its never been an issue for me though since its rare that ever happens.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Second is a small crack in the paint at the 2 lower knobs, again never an issue and seems to be common with this bass.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]and finally the usual wear, a couple of scratches on the back but nothing to hinder anyones playing.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Its a big bass, I loved that though since it was better in my hands but it may not be for the smaller people.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Looking for £280 posted or £250 collected from Glasgow.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Feel free to ask any questions[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Pictures are [attachment=112417:IMG_6079.jpg][attachment=112418:IMG_6082.jpg][attachment=112419:IMG_6089.jpg][attachment=112420:IMG_6091.jpg][attachment=112421:IMG_6098.jpg][/font][/size] Edited July 7, 2012 by Archetype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kongo Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Gotta put out some love for LTD's! Finally got a Forest 5-string today. Surely not everyone here is a Jazzer? Someone want a bass with balls that will, I repeat, WILL play any genre of music you want? You really can't go wrong with a Surveyor. It's a Jazz bass with over 9000db output!
